Côr Cymraeg for Welsh learners, fun singing for carers, improvisation, community choirs
I have been leading songs since 2005, with singers in Mid-Wales and Cardiff. I currently lead Eosau (the Welsh word for Nightingales), which is a Singing for Fun Friday morning group, a Côr Cymraeg group for Welsh language learners. I love how singing brings us shared fun and feeling, and enhances our awareness of eachother. I would love to do more improvised sound-making with others.
We aim to support people to learn Welsh through learning and singing songs in Welsh. Everybody is welcome whatever your level of Welsh. The atmosphere is relaxed and we have tea and biscuits in the break.
Every 3rd Saturday of the month, 11am until 1pm.
We are funded by Credu, the Welsh charity supporting carers. Our original members are carers and we have now opened up to welcome everyone. It is free to attend.
Eosau is the Welsh word for Nightingales, chosen after our favourite song about nightingales.
“It’s wonderful being able to have some time out from being a carer, singing, chatting and exercising with other people for a while, and Iona always makes it feel easy and undemanding, which is just what you need!” – Jill
“Singing makes me feel better and happier and when I am feeling better and happier I can cope better with the day to day stresses of caring.
Meeting with others who ‘get it’ means there is no pressure to be coping or anything other than who I am. ” – Megan
Alternate Fridays 11am - 12.30pm.
